Las Palmas, Virginia Beach, VA, and Richmond, VA.

Javier and Vicente Ibarra, two brothers from La Piedad de Cabadas, Michoacan, Mexico, created the concept of Las Palmas. Javier then ventured out on his own about 14 years ago. He opened his first Las Palmas with his last $3,000, and it has grown from there.

Las Palmas has become a destination for authentic Mexican cuisine in Virginia. In 2010, Las Palmas established its first restaurant in Virginia Beach's Brenneman Farm Shopping Center. A new location then opened at the Lynnhaven Mall Loop in Virginia Beach. In the summer of 2020, they celebrated another milestone in their remarkable journey with the opening of Las Palmas 3 on Colonial Drive. This was followed by five more locations in Virginia Beach, as well as Las Palmas Mexican and Seafood in Richmond.

“We deliver to your plate the culmination of over 15 years of flavor, expertise, and the tradition of a taste that many consider to be the greatest in Virginia Beach,” Javier said. “To all our local friends in all our sister restaurant locations and our travelers from around the globe, you have been wonderful to us. Thanks for making us your favorite Mexican place.”
